We only have Linux on zSeries and at SLES 7 with EXT2 there is a 2G file size limitation. I'm assuming EXT3 being EXT2 and journel would not get us over the size limit

Hearsay says that ReiserFS is a very poor performer on the zSeries. EXT3 would be easiest because EXT3 is simply EXT2 + journelling. You can convert your EXT2 to EXT3 "in place". But I don't understand the comment about the 2 Gb file size limit. I no longer have Linux on zSeries, but there is no such limit on my Intel box (kernel 2.4.20). > -- > John McKown > Senior Systems Programmer > UICI Insurance Center > Information Technology > > This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
